Adding a New Widget

At any time you can display a popup to add more widgets. Click "Add New Widgets" in the upper right corner of the application.

Empty Dock

The same set of widgets displays in the Empty Dock:

You might see Empty Dock every time you return to the home page via the Reset to default view action or when you clear a widget via the Clear action.

You can personalize the collection of the widgets by hiding the unused ones or adding Favorites.

Hide unused widgets

You can clean up the empty Dock and Widgets Panel by removing the default widgets that you never use. To do this, use "Hide default widget" in the context menu. For example:

To display hidden widgets again, click ... in the top right corner of the Empty dock and select "Show all default widgets".

Favorites

For easier access, you may choose to add some of the widgets saved in the Bookmarks Panel to the Dock and Widgets Panel:

To remove a favorite from the dock/widgets panel, right click and choose "Delete favorite".

Favorites are by default stored as a setting and visible only to the user who created them. It is possible to publish them to other users by configuring appropriately the user settings.

Features

Edit Title

Left click on the title to edit it. Hit Esc to discard your changes. Blur or hit Enter to submit your changes.

Actions

If some "Quick Actions" have been defined, they always appear as long as the user's mouse is in the widget container, even if the title bar is collapsed.
